The #HonourableHarvest: Guiding Principles to Restoring Our Relationship to the #NaturalWorld

Apr 12, 2021

"We need acts of #restoration, not only for polluted waters and degraded lands, but also for our relationship to the world. We need to restore honor to the way we live, so that when we walk through the world we don’t have to avert our eyes with shame, so that we can hold our heads up high and receive the respectful acknowledgment of the rest of the earth’s beings."

by Robin Wall Kimmerer, Author, Environmental Educator, & Plant Ecologist

It's almost exactly 75 years since prima ballerina Maria Tallchief took to the stage in the New York City Ballet's premiere of "Firebird." Tallchief recalls in her memoir, "America's First Prima Ballerina," that at the end of the performance, the New York City Center sounded like a football stadium after somebody had made a touchdown. Tallchief, who was a member of the Osage nation, went on to become the highest paid ballerina in the world.

For @TheConversationUS, Shannon Toll writes about her achievements, both in ballet, and in defying expectations of what Indigenous people could achieve in spite of the era's hostile legislation.
